So, something happened and I've been
putting it off and putting it off—writing about it, I mean. I just
couldn't find the words, or it sounded flimsy, or it was full of me
making excuses... and I shouldn't have to make excuses.
I broke it off with Gabriel.
For reasons why, you could probably
scan back through the past few entries and see the reasons. In short,
I feel she needs more attention and more... well, more everything...
than I can give her. Knowing one's own limits is important, and I
knew she was beyond mine. Being with her was putting stress on my own
boundaries and it took this long
to figure it out.
Is the
break-up clean? Is it easy? No.
I
don't have to say any more on the subject, and I won't. Gabriel's
chapter on this blog is over. My further musings on her will be kept
to myself.
